Lijo, It looks like you are describing two things: the TTL (or hop limit in IPv6 parlance) which decrements by one by each router, and some timestamp which can be used to measure end -to-end latency. I'm assuming the latter.
I'm also assuming you are doing this as part of an experiment, to look at the end-to-end/hop-by-hop latency. In that context, you probably aren't looking for standardizing that (or even standards-compliance during your experiment), but more at an implementation technique to keep that information. Of course, the answer depends entirely on the information we are missing. But assuming you are playing with the OpenWSN implementation, there is already an application called rrt which sends the ASN as application payload at the source, and records the ASN when the DAGroot has received that. You can then substract one by the other and do some stats. Please ask further questions to the OpenWSN community [1] as such technical discussion on a particular implementation doesn't belong on the 6TiSCH WG ML. If you are using the commercial SmartMesh IP solution by Linear Tech [2], good news, all of that is already built in. The manager (~DAGroot) keeps track of timing and can send you average latencies for each of your nodes. If you're interested, you can look at these numbers "live" on deployments in Argentina [3,4] or California [5]. As you might imagine, latency/throughput/lifetime trade-off for one another, so there is a handy "performance estimator" tool you can use [6,7]. For further question on this topic, please use www.dustcloud.org. Finally, looking at lowering latency in 6TiSCH has been an important research topic in the last year or so. Look for example at the "Low-Latency Scheduling Function" [8] work which lowers the per-hop latency to 10's of ms withing the 6TiSCH framework.
